Throwing it around

We were kind of in a brief rest-period this weekend with Memorial day in session. We turned off our brains and rested them. Editor George drowned himself in alcohol on a South Carolina beach. That said, the baseball blog world continued around us, and now that the week has began a day late, the show must go on. Look at this picture of Kevin Youkilis, and tell me he doesn’t look like a cartoon character or something awful. I mean really, I want to stop staring at it but I just can’t do it. Please help me stop looking at it.
